Call them “The Bold and the Disputable.” This time each year every fantasy player young or old, seasoned or novice, decorated or defeated extends their neck and mouths a long-odd prediction. That, my friends, is totally #TeamHuevos. We at Yahoo Fantasy are no exception. Here are our biggest, baddest and most unlikely calls for the 2018 Fantasy Football season:

Ballyhooed Barkley to win rushing title

1. Saquon Barkley becomes the third straight rookie to lead the NFL in rushing, following Ezekiel Elliott and Kareem Hunt. Barkley’s talent is beyond question and he’ll see all the carries he can handle.

Brad’s chance of happening: 63%

2. Drew Brees leads the NFL in touchdown passes. No one should consider this particularly bold, because Brees has done it four times already and he just led the league in Y/A and completion percentage. But many of you seem to think he’ll be a low-volume bust.

Brad’s chance of happening: 31%

3. Jimmy Garoppolo will lose a game as a starting QB, eventually. Pretty bold call, since it’s never happened.

BONUS: Todd Gurley succumbs to a major injury midway through the 2018 season rocketing John Kelly into fantasy starting lineups. During his time as the Ram’s main man, the rookie tallies RB top-10 numbers.

Mahomes leads Chiefs to great heights

1. Sterling Shepard (WR47 ADP) finishes as a WR2 or better because volume be damned, he’s just that good and perfectly placed in the Giants offense.

Brad’s chance of happening: 58%

2. John Brown clears 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015 and scores at least eight touchdowns.

Brad’s chance of happening: 61%

3. Under the leadership of Patrick Mahomes and an explosive cast, with a little help from a generous defense, the Kansas City Chiefs finish as the No. 1 offense in total yards and top-seven in points scored.

Brady finally starts to show his age

1. Tom Brady is the most disappointing quarterback in the Top 10. Turning 41 is dicey, and his wide receivers are turning into Spinal Tap drummers (I’ll still keep drafting Chris Hogan, hope for the best. And I grew up in the 01824, so I hope this Brady BP isn’t true.)

Brad’s chance of happening: 41%

2. The 49ers regret the big contract on Jerick McKinnon, and he doesn’t lead the team in rushing touchdowns.

Brad’s chance of happening: 68%

3. Although Golden Tate and Marvin Jones do just fine, Kenny Golladay is the best Lions receiver.
